Spring has sprung!

Yes, the daffodils are blooming along with the crocuses, snow drops and scrilla. My neighbor's star magnolia is blooming. When I drove past the nursery yesterday, I saw peach trees blooming in the middle of the nursery. At first I thought they were cherry trees but it's too early for them. Peach trees do bloom in March. It's a bit early. If we have a freeze, it will do them in. Yesterday, it was 80 degrees and it is 68 now.

The peepers are in full chorus at night.

We have our dress rehearsal for our concert tonight with concerts on Sunday and Tuesday.

Remembering Ted on his birthday. I believe he is with his grandmother.

Last night, I felt there was a poor turnout at the Lenten Service. I know several people were sick but there is usually a large turnout at the Presbyterian Church. One year, they ran out of soup. Some of us had 4 bowls and there was a lot left.

Yesterday, I brought a cookie home from Bible study. I had it wrapped in a napkin and tucked into the pouch of my pocket book. When I got home, I put in on a chair and went into the kitchen. When I came back, Spark had my cookie out on the floor licking it. It was a peanut butter cookie and he loves peanut butter. I scolded him. He was so frightened, he didn't know what to do. I hardly ever scold him. He's very spoiled.

Snow Drops blooming all around the house along with the crocuses. It's been very windy and colder today. I did some work at the church and then went to Bible Study. It was about the Prodigal Son. I delivered some posters for the Choral Society but have some more to do.

I pumped the air up in my tires. The pressure had been low. It does that when it gets cold. It comes back up when it gets warm but this time it didn't. I lent my air compressor and air mattresses to my neighbor's daughter. She and her 4 children had been living with there mother next door and when they got their house, it was just after the blizzard and they couldn't get their things out of storage. The beds were all the way in the back of the unit and she didn't want to put the things out in the snow.

Tonight, the Lenten Service will be at the Presbyterian Church. I have to get Sparky out and get going. One year, they ran out of soup so I want to get there early.
